PureDWTS19 Week 9 Media And Interviews, New Dance Information For Next Week
What a fun night last night. I especially loved the Trio dances. From the entertainment factor to beauty, creativity, and theatrics, they were fantastic. So, let’s get right to the media. You can see a ABC7 recap below and some new interviews. You can also see some beautiful photos at ABC7 and the Daily Mail. Note that the couples have two dances for next week to the same song…the original (plugged) and an acoustic version (unplugged). Here is some more dance info from the interviews. We’ll add more info and videos as more interviews are released. So, keep checking back and scrolling below:
-Witney and Alfonso have an Argentine Tango for the plugged version of their song and a Contemporary dance to the unplugged version.
-Val and Janel have a Paso Doble and an Argentine Tango. They don’t mention for which version of the song.
-Tommy and Peta have a Jazz and a Rumba. They also don’t mention for which version.
-Mark and Sadie have a Quick step and the Argentine Tango for next week according to his new blog.
Send some thanks and love to George, JC, Shawn, and Henry for some fantastic interviews again. Lot’s of fun content below to take in…

So Lea said that Artem dated two of the judges….I know about CAI but he once dated Julianne????? I did not know that. Anyone here have the info on that?
Yup, already know what the scores for Vajanel next week are 10-10-10-10. I’m so frustrated with the show right now. My family have quit watching. My mom think the scoring was a joke and just left the room mid show. Does tptb think viewers are this blind and stupid? I’m sorry for being negative.
I was going to say the same thing Carolyn!! Or maybe he dated Bruno…..just kidding, just kidding 😛
Yeah agreed, some of the scoring this week was a joke. To be honest, not really looking forward to Janel’s dances next week. I bet her AT is going to be full on sexy/flirty and full of lifts, and I’ve already seen full out on both aspects (contemporary and sexy in every other dance).
Interesting that Tommy has the rumba because he did learn a basic version of it for the dance off.
Curious to see the other dances.
All I want to know are Derek and Bethany’s dances. I would love to see them do contemporary and since they already had rumba, V. waltz, foxtrot, argentine tango (are their any more slow dances?), I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I absolutely LOVE Derek’s contemporary.
And I won’t even comment on yesterday’s scores, cuz I don’t wanna be pissed again, but Derek and Beth were so underscored that it’s not even funny anymore. Is she really getting so much votes or why would they feel the need to underscore her and overscore other couples? I just hope that they KILL it next week. And oh, Janel has to go next week, because what happened yesterday was so unfair and it would really give me great satisfaction if their plan to get Janel to the finals wouldn’t work.
Wow! Talk about sour grapes with Lea! Mentioning that Artem dated two(?) of the judges just makes her look bad. I knew she had an injury from when she danced with Val. The whole comment just makes her look desperate. I think most of us could see that her dancing was not that great compared to the top four. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but i also think CAI gave her some pretty valid critiques. I was watching for that because I knew they had dated.
Agree that the scoring was wonky this week! I am so sick of Janel! Stop pushing her down my throat please! Loved Bethany, Sadie and Alfonso. Give Tommy a break and send him home before he hurts himself. I love his vibe though. 🙂
Meggie…you said it about Lea. I always get that “sour grapes” feeling in all of her interviews really.
Artem and Julianne? I don’t think so.
I thought Lea would be like Jennifer but even better. People cried ringer for Jennifer and Lea has more training. Seeing Artem work with Lea, I am more impressed by Derek’s work with Jennifer with her neck injuries. I feel like Artem and. Lea didn’t quite mesh. I
Seeing that three trios got 40s and one lacked content and another had a mistake, even more upsetting Bethany got left out of the 40 party. Seems like Bruno and Carrie Ann worked on the producer notes. I am curious when Beth’s dances will be too. Got to think contemporary.
It Tommy is eliminated next week, Janel won’t get perfect scores. She’ll likely get scores that the judges actually believe she deserves. She’s getting the crazy scores because they’re terrified that Tommy is going to make the final.
Carolyn, I caught that too! Was one maybe a guest judge?
Interesting dance choices for next week. It think Tommy got two very good dances for him that are pretty suitable for his body and age. If he goes home next week, I think he’ll be going out on a high.
Janel and Val with the Argentine Tango and Paso… well.. don’t really care what they do next week.. I’m so over them.
Alfonso doing the Argentine Tango.. now THAT is exciting. And I bet his Contemporary is gonna be awesome too.
I really hope Bethany gets Contemporary as it seems she’s the only who has gotten ONLY Jazz yet and everyone else who got Jazz also seems to be getting Contemporary. So I’m actually hoping for a Quickstep and Contemporary from her. Fingers crossed.
After watching Janel and Val last night, I am still feeling sick this morning. Are the judges totally blind? Val was dragging Janel across the dance floor in the Quickstep and they still received high praise and a perfect score. Her crotch in his face in the trio dance was just too much. Not to mention the kiss! I had to take a barf break after that. Next week, all they will have to do is walk out onto the floor and get perfect 10’s. I am interested in all the other dances but not theirs.
Interesting concept for the plugged/unplugged. Have they done this on their other shows?
@Misty, yes it was in season 17, also in the semi-finals 🙂
Misty, They did it in Season 17. That’s the only other time from what I remember.
@PH (10): Be that as it may… I still have this sense of dread that Janel will again get scores she doesn’t deserve. Especially for her Argentine Tango.
Della(13) why not. Maks and Meryl walked, ran to each other, rolled on the floor and had near kisses and they got 10s. So. Vajanel just had to follow the same and they should get 10s all right.
So they kissed this time, what’s next? Maybe they’ll rip each other’s clothes? Ugh.
True, Tony, but she is unlikely to be far ahead of the other couples. I would wager that she goes out forth unless she has like a 10 point lead over Sadie or Bethany – and probably not even then.
I don’t see the judges opening up a huge gap going into night one of the finale. If they do, we know there is a much bigger agenda than ever before.
@Meggie #6 Lea only turned sour grapes, imo, after the switch up. I think she worked better with Val and they could have had a get partnership, & I kind of think she knew that too. I also think she was jealous of Janel/Artem. She let the competition/game get too much into her head, constantly trying to be something she wasn’t to keep up with the others and it unfortunately turned her sour because I did like her at the beginning.
You could be right, Ammie. I was basing my opinion purely on her comments about what the producers told or didn’t tell about her journey while on the show. The comment on GMA about Artem having dated two judges was too much! You’ve been eliminated … let it go!
#Ammie I think Lea left the show the exact same person she was when she began the show. To me, that’s the problem, there was no growth as a person. She has chosen to use her experience to buttress the attitudes/opinions she brought with her. I think her “sour grapes” probably started years ago when Mikhail Baryshnikov told her she couldn’t be a ballerina (as we were told multiple times). It all comes out that life is unfair and everything is against her. While she is constrained by the box in which she keeps herself, she configures her experience to defend/explain that constraint, and around and around it goes. I feel bad for her. Like I used to say to my friends, she needs to stage a revolution. I’ll bring refreshments. 🙂
Seems like there’s going to be a lot of Argentine Tango’s next week.Sadie’s going to be also doing one, along with a quickstep. So that’s 3 AT
Hoping Bethany is going to get contemporary and a quickstep. Hope she doesn’t get a latin dance.
So, if Lea didn’t think she would have lasted this long, how could she have been at a disadvantage? If she had been at a disadvantage, wouldn’t she have left earlier than she thought she would?
Not too sure whether I want Bethany to do a contemporary. It’s really close to freestyle and not sure whether that would detract away from possible routines that they can do for the freestyle. (Assuming she makes it to finale)
Thanks for the info about the plugged/unplugged being used before. I will have to look that up!
